Impact of light quality on freshwater phytoplankton community in outdoor mesocosms.
Article in Environmental science and pollution research international, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
In shallow lakes, wind wave turbulence alters underwater spectral composition, but the influence of this phenomenon on phytoplankton community structure is poorly understood. We used 100L mesocosms to investigate the influence of light quality on a natural phytoplankton community collected from Taihu Lake in China. The communities in mesocosms were exposed to sunlight filtered for white, blue, green, and red light, while wave-making pumps simulated wind wave turbulence similar to Taihu Lake. Over the course of experiment, each filtered light reduced the total phytoplankton abundance compared to white light. The mean abundance of phytoplankton in controls was 1.72, 1.78, and 7.89 times of that in the red, blue, and green light treatments. Red, blue, and green light significantly promoted the growth of cyanobacteria, green algae, and diatoms, respectively, and induced successional change of the phytoplankton species under the tested conditions. The proportion of Microcystis to total phytoplankton abundance in controls and red light shifted from 87.09% at the beginning to 37.95% and 56.30% at the end of the experiment, respectively, and maintained its dominance, whereas Microcystis lost its dominance and was replaced by Scenedesmus (53.78%) and Synedra (53.18%) in the blue and green light, respectively. Given the process of how these phytoplankton compete in designated spectrum, exploring these influences could help provide new insights into the dominance formation of toxic cyanobacteria.
